Jesus you never miss with these essays. As someone who has been described as “cold,” “aloof,” and “negative” one too many times so much of this hit hard. I still find it nearly impossible to say “I love you” or respond to it unless I feel we’ve reached this insanely high threshold of intimacy and I’ll hide from a hug 95% of the time. My sister would say my defining vibe is “melancholy” and I also gravitate toward those with a deep sadness or obvious internal darkness. I don’t even know where I’m going with this, but reading your words makes me feel less alone and gives me the space to explore myself in a way that feels safe and… peaceful? My manic positive comments all over your content are attempts to spread my best honest thoughts, and my mom has always had an “if you think something nice about someone, tell them” policy and you make that come naturally for me 😽
Loving these voice overs 😭😭 you’re the best
Hearing your authentic voice is the reading of this is so soothing.
